Physical Education

Intent

To develop a healthy attitude to activity and fitness through physical literacy, and an holistic approach to each child's sense of achievement, resilience, collaboration, and competition to take with them into high school.

Implementation

The P.E. curriculum is based around the Get Set for P.E. Scheme to encourage the development of skills based around the fundamentals, which underpins sports in KS1, followed by explicit, sport-based units in KS2. This allows children to understand the different types of sports (invasion, net and ball, striking/fielding, athletic/gymnastic). We want children's physical literacy to be strong with proficient hand-eye coordination, foot-eye coordination, balance and agility. This will then be developed further with an introduction to tactical strategy, game understanding and competitive competition. This is supplemented by a wide-ranging after school programme, with a variety of sports offered for free across the year. Teachers are pleased with all-encompassing scheme, which means P.E. is taught to a good standard regardless of teacher confidence.

Impact

Our pupils universally enjoy P.E. and Pupil Voice says they like the variety of sports that we offer. We have seen an improvement in children's abilities and this is reflected in our teams performing well at our sports events in conjunction with Featherstone SSP. Children are more confident in saying what sports clubs they would like each year and we are tailoring our programme based off this feedback.
